Open RFP

Domestic Scalable Growth Of Large-Format Pixelated CZT Crystals For Advanced Radiation Detection

Description: The Defense Threat Reduction Agency seeks a reliable, scalable domestic source and fabrication process for large-format pixelated cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) crystals used in room-temperature gamma imaging and spectroscopy. The topic calls for improvements to crystal growth and machining, traceable U.S. or allied-nation raw-material sourcing, and validation of crystal quality and performance for scalable production. This SBIR topic is pre-released, proposals are scheduled to open on December 2, 2026, and are due January 6, 2027.

Domestic Fabrication Of High-Purity Precursor Materials For Advanced Radiation Detection Scintillator Crystals
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency is seeking reliable, scalable domestic production and fabrication capabilities for high-purity precursor materials used to grow advanced inorganic scintillator crystals. These crystals support radiation detection, gamma spectroscopy, and neutron/gamma discrimination, while key precursor supply chains currently rely heavily on foreign sources. The effort aims to strengthen domestic supply for the Department of War’s radiation-detection and nuclear-forensics missions.

Domestic Manufacturing of Large Area Raman Laser Materials
The Department of the Navy seeks scalable domestic manufacturing processes for large Raman-active optical crystals to enable wavelength-agile laser systems for naval applications. The prototype should support high-throughput production of large-aperture crystals, reduce reliance on precious-metal crucibles, and meet specified size, damage-threshold, and optical-quality targets. Phase I work is to develop and model the crystal-growth approach, evaluate optical characterization and scale-up feasibility, and provide a Phase II development plan.
